# Installation

## Step 1: Download and Extract

Download the latest **MVS\_Web.zip** archive. Extract it to any folder on your Windows PC.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Recommended path:** `C:\MVS_Web\` -- avoid folders with spaces or non-Latin characters in the path.
{% endhint %}

After extraction, your folder should look like this:

```
MVS_Web/
  MVS_Web.exe        -- Main application (double-click to start)
  config/             -- Configuration files
  data/               -- Database and runtime data (created on first run)
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Do not delete the `data/` folder.** It contains all your accounts, tasks, logs, and settings. Losing this folder means losing all your data.
{% endhint %}

## Step 2: Run the Application

Double-click **MVS\_Web.exe** to start the application.

A console window will appear showing the startup process. This is normal -- keep this window open while using the application.

### Firewall Prompt

Windows may ask you to allow **MVS\_Web.exe** through the firewall. Click **Allow access**. The application only listens on `127.0.0.1` (your local machine) and does not expose anything to the internet.

### Antivirus Warning

Some antivirus programs may flag MVS\_Web.exe as suspicious. This is a known false positive that happens with compiled Python applications. If your antivirus blocks the file:

1. Open your antivirus settings
2. Add the entire **MVS\_Web** folder to the exclusion/whitelist
3. Restore the file from quarantine if needed

## Step 3: Enter Your License Key

1. Open your browser and go to: **<http://127.0.0.1:8420>**
2. You will see the **Settings** page with a License section
3. Paste your license key into the field and click **Save**
4. The status will change to **Valid** with the number of days remaining

{% hint style="success" %}
Your license is tied to your hardware after activation. You do not need to re-enter it after restarting the application.
{% endhint %}

## Step 4: Explore the Dashboard

After activating your license, click **Dashboard** in the left sidebar. You should see the main overview page with task and account statistics.

Congratulations -- MVS Web is ready to use!
